Google Chrome is set to enhance online safety with a new AI-powered feature designed to detect scams. The 'Client Side Detection Brand and Intent for Scam Detection' flag was discovered in the latest version of Google Chrome Canary by a user on social media. This innovative feature utilizes on-device Large Language Models (LLM) to analyze web content locally, ensuring user privacy by not uploading data to the cloud.
To activate this feature, users must download the latest Google Chrome Canary, navigate to chrome://flags/
This development follows another recent AI feature in Chrome, 'Store reviews,' which summarizes product reviews from independent platforms like Trustpilot and ScamAdvisor. Currently, the scam detection feature is exclusive to Google Chrome Canary, inviting early adopters to explore its capabilities.
